How the Capitol attack unfolded - PBS NewsHour

It covers it hour by hour, including two of their reporters who were there when it happened

(tried to post a link to YouTube but it is "age restricted&quot

Really hard to watch and not much new but...perhaps not new for most here, and I am certainly not a psychologist nor a social worker. But it finally dawned on me that for these losers it was not about "stolen elections." For them, like the Unabomber, the whole world is something that needs to be opposed and attacked.

They do not feel that they are part of a society. They antagonize anyone and anything that may be associated with institutions and with a community, or with well run programs.

This is why that guy wore the horns and pained his face. Many chose different garbs. I think that even had Whinny Donny won, they would have found a reason and a place to charge with flags - the Confederacy, preferred - and with varied arms.

Some years ago I read about who listen to talk radio (way before Fox and social media) and the conclusion was that there are men, mostly, who reached an age when they realized they would never be as rich, as successful, as attractive as they once hoped. Not fulfilling any "American Dream." And the talk radio programs appealed to their sense of resentment.

And now, with Social media - they can share their resentments with fellow losers to attack and destroy anything that is the reason for their miserable lives.

Just saying..
